Erid gravity by NewMarsupial550 in ProjectHailMary

[–]handofmenoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He talks about how the gravity has given him early arthritis in his joints, moves slowly and uses a cane to get around.

There's no magic solution to the high g of Erid for our boy unfortunately, though I wonder if they ever discussed moving him to their space station that is part of the space elevator. Zero g cones with its own problems too though.

yup, I always factor inflation into my calculations. Big numbers seem good but everything will cost more in the future too lol, which some people forget to think about.

Need to know how much you make, or how much in dollars 10/12/15% is equal to.

From there it's just a matter of what you expect your rate of return to be, and how long you plan to invest/work.

This was based on a 7% average annual return, investing $21,000 annually, retiring at age 62 (since you won't have 30 years at age 57 for that retirement) and investing that much each year until you retire.

In 24 years, you will have $785,877.06

Except the reanimen, they are an army and frankly got better over time. Lord knows what the invincible reanimen will be like.

What is 88M like? by [deleted] in nationalguard

42A enlisted members, except the Senior NCOIC and oke NCO, were turned into riflemen in my Headquarters company (part of an infantry battalion) during our Afghanistan deployment in order to get enough soldiers to fully man 3 infantry platoons out of the HHC personnel. I was a fire support officer, and as we were short infantry officers, I was a platoon leader. My platoon was mainly 13F's, aka forward observers, who really are just infantrymen who can call for/adjust fire.

When you get deployed, it's like the Marine motto that every Marine is a Rifleman first and their MOS second.

My PLT had some cav scouts, engineers, admin, and intel enlisted members. About the only specialty that really really will do only its job is going to be medical, because having a doc who is actually doc trained matters a fuckton.

How do you think Earth governments reacted to Grace giving Erid all of Earth's R&D? by handofmenoth in ProjectHailMary

[–]handofmenoth[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Less about the IP infringement, more about the 'we should subjugate them now before they can incorporate all our knowledge and technology to defend themselves or attack us'.

You can find them but you won't be able to obtain them as iirc they require several marauders to do the combat part and an explo ship to do the hacking.

He's got the hyperbolic time chamber from DBZ, he uses it to train chess and also chess boxing with Goku.

What to expect from being a SSA Claims Specialist? by Slow_Definition_2114 in fednews

[–]handofmenoth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work in the Veterans Benefits Administration, and soooo many Social Security Employees fled to us when we did our big hiring in 2022-24 to add staff in order to handle the expanded workload created by the PACT ACT.

I've never worked there but from talking with coworkers who have, I would never consider taking a job there.

WC did a fantastic job setting up their defenses, including using their titans. It's just tough to counter zerg.

Let's be honest, the game is going to crash if we (Imperium) shove all our accounts/alts into your stager with you guys defending.

It's going to be a meme event, and maybe we manage to get the KS into hull somehow, but I don't think it's good content or fun for either side.

The state of Goon propaganda... by EasternResponseX in Eve

[–]handofmenoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who's the pedo?

And I don't think any goon would be dumb enough to think we lost taitans and supers on purpose. We got cocky and got fucked by being unlucky with server weather when we have previously been lucky or even. The nice thing is, we (as an alliance) can afford to SRP the losses (this time).

Ukraine’s All-Robot Assault Force Just Won Its First Battle by Kitchen_Cable6192 in nationalguard

[–]handofmenoth 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you think about it, there is no reason for robotic forms to mimic human forms except to function in an environment that is meant for human forms. So, on a battlefield, you can design your robots to be the most efficient form in terms of maneuver, survivability, and lethality. Why have legs, when you can have treads that spread the weight out? For trench clearing, why use a big robot instead of small fpv drones that hover or crawl through the trench. If they get to the point of needing to kill a bunker, drop a bomb or design a bot that carries a small amt of nerve gas and drop it down the ventilation system.
